I work in retail. This is my 17th Christmas in it, and it's rough at times. Add onto the stresses of work, I often get inundated with how this time of year is for romance, love, and being with that special someone. It doesn't make things any easier.
On top of that, at my favorite Star Trek convention, I had one of the flirtiest encounters with Hates-Cats. I mean all day Saturday. I guess it technically started at 3 am when he messaged me "I hardly saw you at all today!!"--which could have been saying he missed me. But just in case it was his sarcasm at play, I replied, "Aren't you the lucky one!" Ha, good cover there. Yeah, I'm clever.
At any rate, all day Saturday was full of the usual harassment between us, with flirty undertones. Even a friend was like, "get on that, girl!" As if it's ever that easy. I really think that he and I could be a freaking adorable Trekkie couple. But the whole cats thing could really put a damper on that. I cannot imagine life without a cat.
After being at the convention all day, we all happened to be leaving at the same time and the banter continued. Then when he got home, we were messaging for a while. I told him I was meeting some people for breakfast, if he wanted to join us. He made it sound as if he wasn't likely to join because he might sleep in a bit. Then, in the morning, we were all seated and I messaged him in case he was awake and wanted to join us. "We'll see," he replied. A minute later, he walked in and sat beside me.
The harassment continued through Sunday, even into the evening when we were both home. And into Monday afternoon when I was *ahem* at work. Don't get me wrong; I do not have any real hopes for anything other than the flirting with Hates-Cats. It's fun and exciting and "practice" I suppose. At the same time, if he did suddenly seem genuinely interested and wanted to date, I'm gonna "get on that". Rawr, or something.
On a completely different note, someone on Trekkies Dating messaged me on November 26 and then promptly deleted their account. What the what?
